AlphaStar to Deploy 5G Wireless Network Using mmWave Spectrum

October 1217:112017

AlphaStar owns several FCC grandfathered licensees for use of mmWave spectrums and plan to deploy a 5G wireless network using the C Band (3.7-4.2 GHz spectrum). The FCC is in the process of approving C Band and other high frequency spectrums for 5G applications. Intelsat with Intel recommended to the FCC that satellite companies should lease commercially their spectrums to wireless providers to speed up the adoption of 5G. AlphaStar is seeking a lease/JV/funding to deploy 5G network.

Greenwich, CT, USA – AlphaStar, one of the original 4 satellite TV broadcasting companies, announced plans to deploy a 5G network using the C Band or Midband Spectrum (3.7-4.2GHz spectrum).

On August 3, the FCC began the process of approval of the C Band (the FCC called it MidBand) and other mmWave spectrums for wireless applications.

AlphaStar FCC mmWave licenses are grandfathered since 1994 and renewable with a footprint covering North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and part of Asia.

Because the C Band is harmonized among countries by the ITU, the 5G network can be deployed in many countries in JV with domestic partners.
